Fruit trees and bushes are available to buy in three different ways: as containerised, container-grown or bare-root plants. There are pros and cons to each type.

Bare-root fruit trees and bushes have been lifted from the ground and come with no soil around their roots. Containerised fruit plants have been lifted from the ground prior to sale and then planted into a pot with soil. Container-grown fruit plants have been grown in the pots you buy them in, so the roots haven’t been disturbed.
